Chiny inaugurują rok startów rakietowych misją satelity wojskowego Zhongxing-2D

Chiny rozpoczęły rok startów rakietowych. Z kosmodromu Xichang poleciała w czwartek rakieta Długi Marsz 3B z satelitą telekomunikacyjnym Zhongxing-2D.
Rakieta wystartowała 10 stycznia o 18:05 czasu polskiego ze stanowiska nr 2 w kosmodromie Xichang. Ładunkiem misji był satelita Zhongxing-2D - prawdopodobnie trzeci wysłany satelita 2. generacji serii Shentong, wykorzystywanej przez chińskie wojsko. Ładunek trafi na orbitę geostacjonarną.
Z usług zaszyfrowanej komunikacji przez satelity serii Shentong korzystają użytkownicy lądowi, wyposażeni w terminale komunikacji w paśmie Ku. Chiny rozwijają tę sieć komunikacyjną od kilkunastu lat. Pierwszy satelita tej serii trafił na orbitę w 2003 roku.
Pierwsze dwa starty satelitów sieci Shentong 2. generacji zostały przeprowadzone w 2012 i 2015 roku.
To pierwszy rakietowy start orbitalny w 2019 roku. Chiny startem rakietowym zakończyli także rok 2018, który był dla nich rekordowy. W ubiegłym roku przeprowadzili 39 startów - najwięcej spośród wszystkich państw.
Kolejny planowany start przeprowadzi firma SpaceX. W pierwszym w tym roku locie Falcona 9 zostanie wyniesiona kolejna grupa satelitów telekomunikacyjnych serii Iridium-NEXT. Start odbędzie się z kosmodromu Vandenberg w Kalifornii. Planowany początek misji to 16:31 czasu polskiego.

Trudno mi powiedzieć. Prenumeruje Uranię - postępy Astronomii od wielu lat, bardzo ciekawe czasopismo 8)

Czy artykuł z Uranii to po prostu skrócona kopia tego z NSF? Tak czytając jedno i drugie mam takie wrażenie...
Artykuł jest na podstawie źródła NS, co zresztą jest podane. Jak prawie zresztą każdy start chiński opisywany na Uranii - oni najczęściej wcześnie o tym piszą. Jeszcze nie robimy original reportingu ze startów z Chin. Szczegóły łączące artykuły to dane techniczne, których się zmienić raczej nie da.
Czuje się trochę jako autor urażony tymi zarzutami, tym bardziej, że zawsze pilnuje i zwracam uwagę na takie rzeczy.

Przepraszam, jeśli to tak zabrzmiało. Po prostu czytając wpierw to co było na NSF, miałem wrażenie, że to samo przeczytałem na Uranii, tylko w innym języku. Dlatego się zaskoczyłem - wcześniej zdawało mi się, że jest inaczej.

Pierwszy start w 2019 roku

Pierwszy start w 2019 roku - CZ-3B / Credits- CNSA
Dziesiątego stycznia odbył się pierwszy start rakiety orbitalnej w 2019 roku.
Do startu rakiety CZ-3B doszło 10 stycznia o godzinie 18:05 CET. Start odbył się z kosmodromu Xichang. Na pokładzie rakiety CZ-3B znalazł się satelita Zhongxing-2D (lub też Chinasat-2D). Start przebiegł prawidłowo i satelita znalazł się na prawidłowej orbicie geostacjonarnej transferowej (GTO) skąd “o własnych siłach” dotrze do wyznaczonego punktu na orbicie geostacjonarnej (GEO).
Niewiele wiadomo o Zhongxing-2D. Wg niezależnych źródeł jest to satelita telekomunikacyjny dla chińskiego wojska. Jest to prawdopodobnie trzeci satelita drugiej generacji satelitów serii Shentong. Z dostępnych informacji wynika, że tego typu satelity służą do przekazywania komunikacji głosowej i danych za pomocą transponderów na paśmie Ku. Satelita ma prawdopodobnie funkcjonować 15 lat na orbicie.
Był to pierwszy start rakiety orbitalnej w 2019 roku. Jest bardzo prawdopodobne, że w tym roku zostanie przeprowadzonych ponad sto startów rakiet orbitalnych. Duża ilość lotów to przede wszystkim wynik rakiet amerykańskich i chińskich – mniej rosyjskich.
2018 rok był wyjątkowy dla branży rakietowej, gdyż łącznie odbyło się aż 114 startów rakiet orbitalnych. Podobny wynik po raz ostatni został osiągnięty dekady temu – w 1989 roku. W międzyczasie nastąpił zauważalny spadek ilości startów rakiet, co niewątpliwie ma związek z rozpadem ZSRR i (w latach 90. XX wieku) niedojrzałym sektorem komercyjnym. W połowie zeszłej dekady odbywało się zaledwie po około 55 startów (lata 2004 – 2005) – dopiero kilka lat później nowe firmy rozpoczęły większą aktywność w branży rakietowej. Dziś najbardziej znaną firmą tej branży jest SpaceX, która w 2018 roku łącznie wykonała 20 startów rakiet Falcon 9 i jeden rakiety Falcon Heavy.

China sends Zhongxing-2D satellite into space on a Long March-3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province at 1:11 a.m., Jan. 11, 2019. The satellite has entered the preset orbit. (Xinhua/Liang Keyan)
XICHANG, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- China sent Zhongxing-2D satellite into space on a Long March-3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province at 1:11 a.m. Friday.
The satellite has entered the preset orbit.
The Chinese-made communication and broadcasting satellite will provide transmission service for the country's radio, television stations and cable television networks.
The Zhongxing-2D satellite and Long March-3B carrier rocket were developed and produced by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
This was the 298th mission of the Long March rocket series.

China begins 2019 launch campaign with a success

A Long March 3B rocket lifted off Thursday from the Xichang space center carrying the Zhongxing 2D, or Chinasat 2D, communications satellite. Credit: Xinhua
(...) Chinese officials declared the launch a success.
The satellite will use its own propulsion to maneuver into a circular orbit nearly 22,300 miles (35,800 kilometers) over the equator in the next few weeks, where its velocity will keep pace with the Earth’s rotation, giving it a fixed geographic coverage zone.
China’s state-run Xinhua news agency said the Chinese-made Zhongxing 2D satellite “will provide transmission service for the country’s radio, television stations and cable television networks.”
Zhongxing 2D is likely based on the DFH-4 satellite design produced by the China Academy of Space Technology, another government-owned contractor in the Chinese space program. Thursday’s launch was not announced in advance, other than the release of warnings to pilots of an impending unspecified rocket launch, and no further details about the satellite’s design or mission were released. Zhongxing 2D joins previous communications satellites in the Zhongxing/Chinasat line that likely provide services to the Chinese military, and the craft launched Thursday could have a similar military mission.

Prezentacja rakiety Simorgh / Atta Kenare / AFP / Getty Images
Piętnastego stycznia doszło do nieudanego startu irańskiej rakiety – satelita nie osiągnął orbity.
Do startu rakiety Simorgh doszło w nocy z 14 na 15 stycznia 2019. Dokładna godzina startu nie jest znana. Głównym ładunkiem na pokładzie rakiety był satelita Payam-e Amirkabir. Miał on zostać wyniesiony na orbitę o wysokości około 600 km.

Makieta satelity Payam-e Amirkabir / Credits – irańskie Ministerstwo Komunikacji
Z wypowiedzi irańskiego Ministerstwa Komunikacji wynika, że choć pierwszy etap startu przebiegł prawidłowo, to górny trzeci stopień rakiety nie zadziałał, i Payam-e Amirkabir został utracony. Co ciekawe, jest to jeden z pierwszych oficjalnych przekazów irańskiego rządu, w którym potwierdzony został nieudany start rakiety. Wcześniej Iran zwykle nie wydawał żadnych komunikatów po nieudanych startach.
Ostatni udany irański start odbył się w lutym 2015 roku, gdy umieszczono na orbicie satelitę Fadżr (https://kosmonauta.net/2015/02/iran-wystrzelil-satelite-fajr/). W kwietniu 2016 roku w locie suborbitalnym Iran przetestował pierwszy stopień rakiety Simorgh. Pierwszy orbitalny lot tej rakiety z 27 lipca 2017 roku zakończył się jednak niepowodzeniem.

AUT says ready to start building a second ‘Payam’ satellite
16 January 2019 - 09:25
(https://media.mehrnews.com/d/2019/01/15/3/3013969.jpg)
TEHRAN, Jan. 16 (MNA) – The AUT team in charge of developing the ‘Payam’ satellite has written a letter to President Rouhani voicing their readiness to start working on the construction of a second satellite after the first failed to reach orbit on Tuesday.
In a letter addressed to President Rouhani, the AUT team in charge of developing the ‘Payam’ satellite said they are ready to pool efforts and begin the construction of a second satellite starting Wednesday.
They noted in the letter that the technical and executive teams of ‘Payam’ project had spent the last ten years designing and developing the satellite, adding that over 65% of the project’s physical progress was made during Rouhani’s term in office.
The team maintained that they had hoped the satellite would be put into orbit and its transferred data would be able to be used for peaceful purposes for at least two years.
Early Tuesday, Iran launched a domestic satellite into space with an aim to collect environmental information to help with the country's forecasting system; however, the satellite failed to reach orbit due to some technical problems that occurred during the final stage of the launch.
Following the launch, ICT Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted that the first and second stages of the space mission had been performed successfully, but that the satellite carrier had failed to accelerate to orbital speed in the third stage.
Meanwhile, president of Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) has said that the team can build the second satellite in less than a year.

Start rakiety Epsilon – 18.01.2019 / Credits – JAXA
Głównym ładunkiem w tym locie był satelita Rapid Innovation Payload Demonstration Satellite (RAPIS-1). Celem tego satelity o masie 200 kg jest demonstracja nowych technologii, takich jak układy NBFPGA, zaawansowana komunikacja na paśmie X oraz układ orientacji satelity korzystający z mniej toksycznego paliwa. Misja RAPIS-1 jest planowana na około rok.
Ponadto, rakieta Epsilon wyniosła sześć małych satelitów, z których trzy są formatu CubeSat. Trzy “większe” satelity tego lotu to RISESAT (50 kg masy startowej, Japonia), ALE-1 (68 kg masy startowej, Japonia) i MicroDragon (50 kg masy startowej, Wietnam). Trzy CubeSaty noszą nazwy: OrigamiSat-1, Aoba VELOX-IV i NEXUS.
Był to czwarty lot rakiety Epsilon od czasu wprowadzenia tej konstrukcji do służby w 2013 roku. Jak na razie wszystkie loty tej rakiety zakończyły się pełnym sukcesem. Następny lot Epsilona zaplanowano na 2020 rok – na pokładzie znajdzie się RAPIS-2.

Japan’s Epsilon rocket launches seven tech demo satellites
January 18, 2019 Stephen Clark

(...) The upper stage released the largest of the seven satellites, named RAPIS 1, around 52 minutes after liftoff.
Built by Japanese startup Axelspace for JAXA, the roughly 440-pound (200-kilogram) RAPIS 1 spacecraft will test the performance of a new thin membrane solar panel design, a “green” propulsion system using non-toxic fuel, a high-speed X-band communications system, a low-cost, miniaturized terminal to receive signals from navigation satellites, and a camera suite for Earth observation and to monitor deployment of the solar array, among other prototype technologies.
RAPIS 1 is short for Rapid Innovative payload demonstration Satellite 1, and the satellite also carries a new type of miniature star tracker, and a space radiation monitor experiment. RAPIS 1’s mission is scheduled to last at least two years.

After deployment of RAPIS 1, the rocket’s upper stage thrusters were programmed to reignite briefly between each satellite’s separation time, ensuring each spacecraft would not collide with one another. The ALE 1 microsatellite, designed to generate a sky spectacle by releasing a shower of tiny particles to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, was the last of the seven payloads to separate from the rocket around an hour and 10 minutes after liftoff.
“For the first satellite and the last satellite, we will try to adjust to the orbit they want,” said Kyoko Oribe, an engineer at IHI Aerospace, who presented details of the rideshare mission at the International Astronautical Congress last October in Germany.
“For the other satellites, we will attempt slightly different altitudes — one kilometer down, one kilometer down — in order to avoid collisions,” she said. “I expect that this flight will be a (good) development for rideshare.”
The satellite deployments occurred according to plan, JAXA said in a statement.
“All seven satellites separated from the launch vehicle successfully,” the space agency said.
ALE 1 is the first of two satellites launching this year developed by Astro Live Experiences, a privately-funded Japanese venture that aims to create artificial “meteor showers” by releasing half-inch (1-centimeter) pellets to re-enter the atmosphere. By early 2020, the 150-pound (68-kilogram) ALE 1 satellite will use a drag-inducing mechanism to maneuver to an orbit low enough to ensure the particles safely re-enter the atmosphere, and don’t become space junk. The company plans to create the artificial multi-color meteor shower over parts of Japan next year.
“I hope that our man-made meteors will help reveal new discoveries in science, and that it will gather and entertain people under the night sky,” said Lena Okajima, ALE’s chief executive.
ALE is building a second satellite for launch later this year.
Other satellites launched aboard Japan’s Epsilon rocket include MicroDragon, a satellite built by Vietnamese engineers studying in Japan. The 111-pound (50.5-kilogram) spacecraft will be operated by the Vietnam National Space Center, part of Vietnam’s national space agency, and will monitor the world’s oceans to examine fishing grounds and search for disasters such as oil spills. MicroDragon will also measure aerosols, microscopic particles suspended in Earth’s atmosphere.
Vietnamese teams working in collaboration with Japanese universities assembled and tested the MicroDragon satellite in preparation for the launch.
The 130-pound (59-kilogram) RISESAT spacecraft was also launched.
RISESAT stands for the Rapid International Scientific Experiment Satellite, and the project is led by Tohoku University in Japan. RISESAT carries a color Earth observation camera, and experiments to investigate new attitude control and laser communications technologies. The satellite’s payloads come from institutions in Japan, Taiwan and the Czech Republic.
Three CubeSats were also on the launch, all weighing 9 pounds (4.1 kilograms) or less.
One of the CubeSats, named OrigamiSat and developed at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, will unfurl an experimental membrane structure with embedded solar cells and and a UHF antenna to test lightweight systems that could be used on future smallsat missions.
Another CubeSat, named Aoba VELOX-IV, is from the Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan. It will demonstrate an attitude control and orbital control system, and a low-light camera, for lunar observations.
Nihon University’s NEXUS CubeSat will test next-generation amateur satellite communications technology.
Friday’s flight marked the fourth launch of Japan’s Epsilon rocket since 2013, and the first Epsilon mission to deliver multiple satellites to orbit. (...)

Start CZ-11 - 21.01.2019 / Credits - Xinhua
Dwudziestego pierwszego stycznia rakieta CZ-11 wyniosła cztery małe satelity.
Start rakiety CZ-11 nastąpił 21 stycznia o godzinie 06:42 CET. Start nastąpił z kosmodromu Jiuquan. Start przebiegł bez zakłóceń i cztery satelity znalazły się na prawidłowej orbicie Satelity otrzymały nazwy Jilin Lincao-1, Jilin Lincao-2, Lingque-1A i Xiaoxiang-1 03.
Jilin Lincao-1 i Jilin Lincao-2 to hiperspektralne satelity obserwacji Ziemi, które są częścią budowanej właśnie chińskiej komercyjnej konstelacji satelitów obrazujących naszą planetę. Z dostępnych informacji wynika, że te satelity są zdolne do obserwacji Ziemi z rozdzielczością 5 metrów przy szerokości obszaru obserwacji około 110 km.
Ponadto, w tym locie na orbicie znalazł się także satelita obserwacyjny Lingque-1A oraz satelita technologiczny Xiaoxiang-1 03. Co ciekawe, te satelity są zbudowane przez chińskie firmy komercyjne – nie instytuty naukowe. Jest to sygnał, że komercyjna branża kosmiczna w Chinach nabiera coraz większego rozpędu (https://kosmonauta.net/2018/12/komercyjny-kosmos-listopad-2018/).
Był to szósty start rakiety orbitalnej w 2019 roku. Następny jest planowany na 24 stycznia. Wówczas indyjska rakieta PSLV wyniesie dwa satelity.

JIUQUAN, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- China launched two satellites for multispectral imaging on a Long March-11 rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 1:42 pm on Monday.
The satellites have successfully entered their preset orbit, according to the center.
The two satellites, part of the Jilin-1 satellite family, were independently developed by Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd.
Loaded with a multi-spectral imager and an infrared camera, they will form a network with the 10 previously launched Jilin-1 satellites, providing remote sensing data and services for forestry, shipping and resource and environmental monitoring.
The launch also carried two test satellites. Lingque-1A is the first verifying satellite for the Lingque Constellation planned by Beijing ZeroG Technology Co., Ltd. It can take photos of Earth, conduct high-speed data transmission and inter-satellite communication.
Xiaoxiang-1 03 is a technology test satellite developed by Spacety Co., Ltd. based in Changsha, Hunan Province. It will be used to verify radio communication and small remote sensing experiments.
It is the 299th mission of the Long March carrier rocket series.

China’s Long March 11 rocket lofts Earth-imaging and tech demo satellites
January 22, 2019 Stephen Clark
(...) The two primary passengers aboard Monday’s launch, which occurred at 1:42 p.m. Beijing time, were hyperspectral Earth-imaging satellites to join the Chinese Jilin 1 remote sensing fleet.
The two Jilin 1 hyperspectral imaging satellites likely weighed no more than few hundred pounds at launch, and carry infrared and hyperspectral cameras, according to China’s state-run Xinhua news agency.
Hyperspectral cameras are sensitive to light across a wide swatch of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing the instruments to distinguish between different types of plants, measure vegetation health, observe changes in infrastructure, detect pollution and aid in numerous other environmental and security application
The Jilin 1 satellites are owned by Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd., a commercial spinoff of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Chang Guang has launched 12 satellites in the Jilin 1 family since 2015. The Earth observation platforms are designed to collect high-definition video, color pictures, and detailed hyperspectral imagery of Earth, providing information to the Chinese military, civilian agencies and commercial users.
Xinhua also reported that the Long March 11 carried two smaller satellites into orbit as secondary payloads.
One of the smallsats, named Lingque 1A, is the first test satellite for a planned constellation of Earth observation and data relay satellites planned by Beijing ZeroG Technology Co. Ltd., Xinhua said. The other payload — Xiaoxiang 1-03 — is a tech demo satellite developed by Spacety Co. Ltd. to verify radio communication and small remote sensing experiments, Xinhua reported.
China plans sea-based Long March 11 launch this year
Monday’s launch marked the sixth flight of a Long March 11 rocket since it debuted in 2015, and the fourth Long March 11 mission since the beginning of 2018.
More Long March 11 launches are planned this year, including China’s first space launch from an ocean-going platform. A Long March 11 rocket is scheduled to lift off on a satellite launch from a converted container ship as soon as June, according to Chinese state media.
Developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, or CALT, the Long March 11 measures nearly 7 feet (2 meters) in diameter and can haul up to 770 pounds (350 kilograms) of payload to a 435-mile-high (700-kilometer) sun-synchronous orbit. Other solid-fueled rockets sized to loft small satellites have debuted in China in recent years, including the Kuaizhou designed by the China Aerospace Science & Industry Corp., a different unit in China’s state-run defense and aerospace apparatus from CALT.
Both of the new rocket types blast off from a wheeled mobile transporter. (...)

Debiutancki lot PSLV-DL (24.01.2019)
BY MICHAŁ MOROZ ON 26 STYCZNIA 2019
Z indyjskiego kosmodromu Sriharikota w czwartek 24 stycznia 2019 wystartowała rakieta nośna Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle z satelitami Microsat-R oraz Kalamsat v2. Był to pierwszy lot rakiety w wariancie DL.
Indyjska Agencja Kosmiczna (ISRO) rozpoczęła pierwsze prace nad PSLV jeszcze pod koniec lat siedemdziesiątych. W 1993 roku odbył się jej pierwszy lot. Od tego czasu ISRO przeprowadziła ponad 40 lotów rakiety, wynosząc m.in. takie indyjskie misje jak księżycowego orbitera Chandrayaan-1, marsjańskiego Mangalyaan czy obserwatorium Astrosat.
W pierwszym starcie rakiety kosmicznej w 2019 roku Indie umieściły na orbicie satelitę Microsat-R oraz ładunek naukowy Kalamsat v2, który pozostał przyłączony do ostatniego, czwartego stopnia rakiety nośnej. Microsat-R po blisko 13 minutach lotu został umieszczony na niskiej orbicie polarnej o parametrach 264 x 279 km i nachyleniu 96,45 stopni.
Microsat-R to mały satelita obserwacyjny o masie 740 kg. Zbudowany został przez wojskową Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). Edukacyjny radioamatorski eksperyment Kalamsat v2 zbudowany przez Space Kidz India trafił zaś na orbitę na wysokości 450 km i nachyleniu 98,77 stopni. Miał on działać tylko przez 15 godzin od startu i przeprowadzić testy komunikacyjne stosując sprzęt zbudowany na bazie dostępnej w sklepach elektroniki (tzw. COTS). Wcześniej podobny eksperyment zespół Space Kidz India przeprowadził na amerykańskiej rakiecie sondującej startującej z kosmodromu Wallops.
Nowy wariant rakiety oznaczony mianem PSLV-DL wyposażony jest w czwarty stopień, który w przyszłości, przy pomocy baterii jonowo-litowych, będzie mógł zasilać na dłużej przyłączone do niego eksperymenty i ładunki. W tej konfiguracji rakieta posiada tylko dwa boostery zasilane paliwem stałym.

PSLV-C44
Jan 24, 2019
India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C44) successfully injected Microsat-R and Kalamsat-V2 satellites into their designated orbits.
The PSLV-C44 lifted off at 23:37 Hrs (IST) on January 24, 2019 from the First Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota in its 46th flight.
About 13 minutes 26 seconds after lift-off, Microsat-R, an imaging satellite was successfully injected into intended orbit of 274 km.
Subsequently, the fourth stage (PS4) of the vehicle was moved to a higher circular orbit of 453 km after two restarts of the stage, to establish an orbital platform for carrying out experiments. Kalamsat-V2, a student payload, first to use PS4 as an orbital platform.

A new variant of India’s workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle with two strap-on solid rocket boosters and an upper stage converted into an experiment-carrying platform debuted Thursday with a launch into polar orbit.
The 145-foot-tall (44-meter) PSLV lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, located on Sriharikota Island on India’s east coast, at 1807 GMT (1:07 p.m. EST) Thursday on the first Indian space launch of 2019.
The launch occurred at 11:37 p.m. Indian Standard Time, making it a rare night launch from India’s spaceport.
The primary payload on the flight was an Indian military Earth observation satellite named Microsat-R. But a major objective of the launch was to demonstrate using the PSLV’s fourth stage as an experiment base in orbit after deploying the Microsat-R spacecraft.
On previous PSLV missions, the liquid-fueled fourth stage was deactivated after finishing its satellite deployment sequence. Most other rockets do the same, either leaving their spent rocket stages in orbit or deorbiting them to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.
The Indian Space Research Organization, India’s national space agency, said the fourth stage on Thursday’s launch carried a payload developed by Indian students named Kalamsat. The tiny payload weighs only a couple of pounds and was planned to only be active around 15 hours after the launch before its batteries are drained, but future PSLV upper stages could include solar panels to generate electricity for longer experiment durations.
Developed by a Chennai-based organization named Space Kidz India, the Kalamsat payload uses commercial off-the-shelf computer and communications systems and will broadcast data to Earth from the PSLV upper stage. A precursor experiment from Space Kidz India launched on a NASA-sponsored suborbital sounding rocket flight to space from Wallops Island, Virginia, in 2017.
Thursday’s mission was also the first to use a new configuration of India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle with two strap-on boosters. Previous PSLV flights used no boosters or flew with six motors to provide extra thrust at liftoff. (...)

The new rocket configuration, named the PSLV-DL, will give Indian officials an intermediate option to fly the rocket with fewer boosters if a mission does not need the full lifting performance of six strap-on motors, a measure that adds flexibility for ISRO managers and could save money.
The PSLV’s solid rocket boosters burn around 12.2 metric tons — more than 26,000 pounds — of pre-packed solid propellant in the first 70 seconds of the flight, then jettison from the rocket’s core stage to fall into the Bay of Bengal.
Each booster stands 39 feet (12 meters) tall and measures around 3.3 feet (1 meter) in diameter, generating approximately 158,000 pounds of thrust. With two boosters supplementing the PSLV’s solid-fueled core stage, the PSLV-DL fired off the launch pad with around a million pounds of thrust.
Heading on an initial track southeast from Sriharikota, the twin boosters separated around 70 seconds after liftoff, and the PSLV’s first stage burned out and jettison at T+plus 1 minute, 49 seconds, followed immediately by ignition of the rocket’s liquid-fueled second stage. The second stage’s Vikas engine, consuming hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, produced around 180,000 pounds of thrust for a two-and-a-half minute burn, during which the PSLV’s payload shroud released in a clamshell-like fashion once the launcher reaches space.
After bending its trajectory toward the south to bypass an overflight of Sri Lanka, the PSLV fired its solid-fueled third stage next, followed by ignition of the twin-engine fourth stage — also burning hydrazine — at T+plus 8 minutes, 18 seconds.
The fourth stage, known as the PS4, shut down at T+plus 12 minutes, 46 seconds, and deployed the Microsat-R spacecraft at T+plus 13 minutes, 33 seconds. ISRO officials confirmed the successful deployment of Microsat-R.
The Hindu, an English-language newspaper in India, reported the Microsat-R satellite comes from the Defense Development and Research Organization — DDRO — the research and development agency of the Indian military. The roughly 1,631-pound (740-kilogram) satellite was to be deployed in an unusually-low orbit around 170 miles (274 kilometers) above Earth, the Hindu reported.
ISRO provided no details about Microsat-R in a press kit released before the launch, other than to describe it as an “imaging satellite.”
Microsat-R separated in an orbit inclined around 96.6 degrees to the equator, according to the ISRO press kit.
Two additional burns by the PS4 fourth stage engines, each programmed to last around 15 seconds, were planned approximately 54 minutes and 1 hour, 40 minutes, after liftoff to raise the rocket’s orbit to an altitude of 279 miles (450 kilometers) at an inclination of 98.8 degrees. In that orbit, the fourth stage was to begin its mission as an experiment platform with the Kalamsat payload.
Thursday’s launch marked the 46th flight of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle since 1993. All but two of the launches have been successful.

Ariane 5 reaches the launch zone for Arianespace’s year-opening mission
February 4, 2019
(http://www.arianespace.com/wp-content/uploads/cache/2019/02/2-4-2019-VA247-pano/2567685295.jpg)
(...) This paves the way for tomorrow’s liftoff, which is planned during a 61-min. launch window that opens February 5 at 6:01 p.m. local time in French Guiana.
Today’s rollout from the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building marked one of the final milestones in preparations for Flight VA247, which will kick off Arianespace’s 2019 launch activity. The company is planning up to 12 missions this year using the heavy-lift Ariane 5, medium-lift Soyuz and lightweight Vega.
A dual-payload deployment
Flight VA247 will be carrying a payload estimated at 10,018 kg. This total factors in the two satellite passengers’ combined liftoff mass, as well as hardware for Ariane 5’s dual-payload deployment system.
Riding in Ariane 5’s upper position, HS-4/SGS-1 is to be released first in the flight sequence, with its separation occurring 27 minutes after liftoff. Built by Lockheed Martin Space, it is a geostationary “condosat” for Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and Greek-Cypriot satellite operator Hellas Sat, an Arabsat subsidiary.
Completing the mission will be the deployment of Ariane 5’s lower passenger, GSAT-31, which will occur 42 minutes after the flight begins. This spacecraft was designed and manufactured by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to reduce the digital divide in India.

Pierwszy start Ariane 5 w 2019 roku
BY MICHAŁ MOROZ ON 6 LUTEGO 2019

Start Ariane 5 ECA z 5.02.2019 / Arianespace
We wtorek 5 lutego z kosmodromu Kourou w Gujanie Francuskiej wystartowała rakieta Ariane 5 w wersji ECA wynosząc na orbitę transferową ku geostacjonarnej (GTO) dwa satelity telekomunikacyjne dla Indii oraz Arabii Saudyjskiej.
Pierwszy start rakiety nośnej dla spółki Arianespace odbył się 5 lutego 2019 roku. Ariane 5 ECA wystartowała o godzinie 22:01 CET z kosmodromu Kourou wynosząc po 25 minutach lotu dwa ładunki na orbitę o parametrach 250 na 35786 km oraz inklinację 3 stopni. Satelity HS4-SGS1 (Hellas-Sat-4, SaudiGeoSat-1) oraz GSAT-31 dotrą własnymi siłami na docelową pozycję na orbicie geostacjonarnej.
HS4-SGS1 to pierwszy satelita Lockheed Martin oparty o platformę LM2100. Ważący blisko 6,5 tony satelita zamówiony przez saudyjskiego Arabsata ma świadczyć usługi telekomunikacyjne przez co najmniej 15 lat. Na pokładzie znajdują się transpondery dwóch podmiotów: badawczo-rozwojowego centrum saudyjskiego KACST (King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology) oraz spółki-córki Arabsata o nazwie Hellas Sat zarejestrowanej na Cyprze.
Zmodernizowana platforma satelitarna LM2100 ma zwiększyć konkurencyjność satelitów telekomunikacyjnych budowanych w zakładach Lockheed Martina. Kolejny satelita oparty o tę platformę, Arabsat-6A, ma zostać wyniesiony w marcu w drugim starcie Falcona Heavy, nowej rakiety nośnej firmy SpaceX.
“To największy i najpotężniejszy komercyjny satelita komunikacyjny, którego dotychczas zbudowaliśmy” komentuje start HS4-SGS1 Guy Beutelschies, wicedyrektor Lockheed Martin ds. satelitów komercyjnych.
GSAT-31 został zbudowany przez Indyjską Agencję Kosmiczną (ISRO). Ważący ponad 2,5 tony satelita oparty o indyjską platformę I-2K ma świadczyć usługi telekomunikacyjne przez kolejne 15 lat. Zastąpi wyniesionego w 2007 roku Insata 4CR, który w wyniku awarii górnego stopnia rakiety trafił na orbitę niższą od planowanej i musiał zużyć więcej paliwa by trafić na orbitę geostacjonarną.

Arianespace opens busy 2019 manifest with dual-satellite Ariane 5 launch
February 5, 2019 Stephen Clark
(...) Vaulting into a hazy, overcast evening sky with 2.9 million pounds of thrust, the Ariane 5 headed east from the European-run spaceport in South America, surpassed the speed of sound in less than a minute, and released its two side-mounted solid-fueled boosters around two-and-a-half minutes after liftoff.
Moments later, the Ariane 5’s payload shroud — made by Ruag in Switzerland — jettisoned to fall into the Atlantic Ocean, and the core stage engine shut down and separated nearly nine minutes into the flight. An upper stage HM7B engine fired more than 16 minutes to accelerate the Hellas-Sat 4/Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1 and GSAT 31 communications satellites into an elliptical geostationary transfer orbit ranging between 155 miles (250 kilometers) and 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) in altitude.
The Ariane 5 deployed the satellites one at a time, first releasing Hellas-Sat 4/SGS 1, then ejecting an adapter cover for separation of the GSAT 31 communications satellite more than 42 minutes after liftoff.
Each satellite will use on-board thrusters to circularize their orbits more than 22,000 miles over the equator, where their velocities will match the rate of Earth’s rotation, giving the spacecraft fixed coverage zones, with Hellas-Sat 4/SGS 1 covering the Middle East, Europe and Africa, and GSAT 31 over India and the Indian Ocean.
Arianespace, the French company responsible for launch activities at the Guiana Space Center, declared the launch a success, wrapping up the 103rd Ariane 5 flight since 1996, and the first this year.
The bigger of the two satellites launching Tuesday is a multi-use craft for King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, or KACST, a government research institute in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Hellas-Sat, a subsidiary of Arabsat headquartered in Cyprus.

Known by KACST and Hellas-Sat as Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1 and Hellas-Sat 4, respectively, the satellite was built by Lockheed Martin in Denver, then shipped to the defense contractor’s facility in Sunnyvale, California, for environmental testing before flying to French Guiana aboard a cargo plane in preparation for launch.
The Hellas-Sat 4/SGS 1 spacecraft is Lockheed Martin’s first commercial geostationary satellite to launch since 2012, representing the company’s return to the commercial market after a long emphasis on building satellites for the U.S. government.
Another Saudi-owend communications craft based on Lockheed Martin’s modernized A2100 spacecraft bus — Arabsat 6A — is scheduled for launch as soon as March aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Hellas-Sat 4/SGS 1 spacecraft weighs 14,319 pounds (6,495 kilograms) fully fueled for launch, and it will ride in the upper position inside the Ariane 5 rocket’s Swiss-made payload fairing. On-board thrusters will raise the satellite’s orbit from the elliptical transfer orbit reachable by the Ariane 5, to a circular position at geostationary altitude over the equator at 39 degrees east longitude.
Designed for a lifetime of more than 15 years, Hellas-Sat 4/SGS 1 will provide Ka-band broadband Internet connectivity and other telecom services across Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries, including secure military communications for nations in the Gulf Cooperative Council, a group composed of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
The satellite’s Ku-band payload will be used by Hellas-Sat to beam direct-to-home television programming to parts of Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
“The Saudi Geostationary Satellite, SGS1, is a national satellite providing secure satellite communications in Ka-band for the government of Saudi Arabia,” said Badr Alsuwaidan, SGS 1 program director at KACST. “It provides 35 gigabits per second. It has coverage of the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, as well as a Ku-band payload for the Hellas-Sat subsidiary of Arabsat. SGS1 is a satellite that comes from the alliance, or the agreement, of KACST and Arabsat, who jointly contracted with Lockheed Martin to build geostationary satellites.”
Lockheed Martin also trained 15 Saudi engineers during the manufacturing of Hellas-Sat 4/SGS 1 as part of a transfer of know-how under company’s contract with KACST.
“The launch of Hellas-Sat 4 will increase our geostationary fleet to a number of three satellites,” said Kandeas Karantonis, Hellas-Sat 4 program manager at Hellas-Sat. “The Hellas-Sat payload will provide Ku coverage over Europe, the Middle East and South Africa. It will provide extensive redundancy and backup capacities to further secure DTH (direct-to-home) networks and customer base and provide competitive advantages to customers in Europe and other areas.
“We envision Hellas-Sat 4 to provide additional capacities for HD, 4K and free-to-air channels which will guarantee additional room for our existing and new customers to grow,” Karantonis said.
A Lockheed Martin spokesperson confirmed ground controllers acquired signals from the new spacecraft shortly after Tuesday’s launch, and had extended its power-generating solar panels.

India’s GSAT 31 communications satellite will ride into orbit inside a Sylda dual-payload structure in the lower position in the Ariane 5’s payload fairing.
The 5,590-pound (2,536-kilogram) satellite will maneuver into a geostationary orbital slot at 48 degrees east longitude for its planned 15-year mission providing Ku-band services to India and neighboring islands and oceans.
GSAT 31 will support communications networks, broadcast television programming, and provide cellular backhaul connectivity across its coverage zone, according to the Indian Space Research Organization, which built and owns the spacecraft.
Tuesday’s launch marked the first of up to 13 missions planned from French Guiana this year by Arianespace, which oversees Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega rocket flights from French Guiana.
Arianespace logged 11 missions last year — six Ariane 5s, three launches by the Russian-built Soyuz booster, and two flights of the light-class solid-fueled Vega launcher.
This year, Arianespace officials foresee up to five Ariane 5 flights, each with two satellites heading for geostationary orbit more than 22,000 miles (nearly 35,000 kilometers) over the equator. There are up to five Vega launches on this year’s schedule at the Guiana Space Center — four using the current variant, plus the debut launch of the Vega-C rocket at the end of the year with enlarged solid-fueled booster stages.
Three Soyuz launches are scheduled this year from French Guiana — one with the first six satellites for OneWeb’s broadband network, another with four more O3b high-speed Internet satellites, and a mission late this year with an Italian radar observation craft and a European Space Agency telescope to study planets around other stars.
That brings the total number of flights planned at the Guiana Space Center this year to 13. One more Soyuz launch could take off this year from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan with another batch of OneWeb satellites, also through a contract with Arianespace.
Arianespace’s launch schedule this year — if achieved — would set a record for the most missions in a calendar year in the company’s history. It would also mark the highest number of Vega rocket launches in a year since that vehicle flew for the first time in 2012.

Arianespace launches Indian, Saudi telecom satellites in year’s first Ariane 5 mission
by Caleb Henry — February 5, 2019

WASHINGTON — European launch provider Arianespace completed the first Ariane 5 mission of the year Feb. 5, lofting two telecom satellites into geostationary transfer orbits.
The Ariane 5, Europe’s heavy-lift rocket, took off from Kourou, French Guiana, at 4:01 p.m. Eastern. Saudi Geostationary Satellite-1/Hellas Sat-4, a hefty 6,500-kilogram “condominium satellite,” carrying payloads for two operators, separated from the launcher’s upper stage after 27 minutes. GSAT-31, a 2,540-kilogram satellite for the Indian Space Research Organisation, separated 42 minutes after liftoff.
From geostationary transfer orbit, the satellites will use onboard propulsion to circularize into their nominal orbits 36,000 kilometers above the Earth.
The launch is particularly significant for Lockheed Martin, as SaudiGeoSat-1/Hellas Sat-4 is the first commercial satellite to use the company’s modernized LM2100 platform.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-based Arabsat purchased the satellite, which is divided into SaudiGeoSat-1 for KACST, the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, and Hellas Sat-4 for Arabsat’s subsidiary Hellas Sat of Greece and Cyprus.
Lockheed Martin said last year it had invested around $300 million on a tech refresh for the platform to increase its competitiveness in the geostationary satellite market. The LM2100 features more than two dozen upgrades, including new avionics, flexible solar arrays and a reprogrammable mission processor.
In a post-launch speech, Guy Beutelschies, Lockheed Martin’s vice president of commercial satellite solutions, described SaudiGeoSat-1/Hellas Sat-4 as the “largest and most powerful commercial communications satellite that we’ve ever built.”
SaudiGeoSat-1 carries a Ka-band payload for connectivity services across the Gulf Cooperative Council region. Hellas Sat-4 features Ku-band capacity covering Europe, the Middle East and South Africa. The so-called condosat has a design life of 15 years, with enough fuel onboard to last for 23 years.
Arabsat has a second LM2100 satellite, Arabsat-6A, slated to launch later this year on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
GSAT-31 was built by ISRO, and is designed to last more than 15 years, though the operator did not specify by how much. Geostationary communications satellites are typically designed to last 15 years, but it is not uncommon for them to continue to function for several additional years.
GSAT-31 will cover the Indian subcontinent with Ku-band beams for television broadcasting, cellular backhaul and very small aperture terminal connectivity. The satellite joins ISRO’s fleet of 18 communications satellites, providing continuity of service for the Insat-4CR and Insat-4A, according to the agency.
Arianespace’s next launch is a Soyuz mission from French Guiana with the first six low-Earth-orbit broadband satellites for OneWeb. Stéphane Israël, Arianespace CEO, said in a speech following today’s Ariane 5 launch that the OneWeb mission is tentatively planned for Feb. 22. That mission slipped three days after the discovery of a technical issue with the Soyuz rocket.
Arianespace anticipates launching at least 12 times this year, of which five missions are Ariane 5 dual launches with two satellites each.

Przygotowania do lotu rakiety Safir-1B na zdjęciach satelitarnych / Planet
Trzy tygodnie po nieudanym starcie rakiety Simorgh z satelitą Payam-e Amirkabir Irańczycy ponieśli kolejną porażkę. Start rakiety Safir-1B z 6 lutego z satelitą Dousti również się nie powiódł.
Start rakiety z bazy wojskowej w Semnan miał wynieść satelitę obserwacyjnego Dousti (دوستى po persku przyjaźń) na niską orbitę okołoziemską na wysokość między 250 a 310 km. Inne źródła wspominały o orbicie na wysokości 500 kilometrów. Ważący 52 kilogramy satelita obserwacyjny został zbudowany przez teherański Sharif University of Technology i miał wykonywać zdjęcia z rozdzielczością 30 metrów na piksel.

Satelita Dousti / Farsnews
Pierwsze informacje twierdzą, że do awarii rakiety nośnej doszło tuż po starcie. Safir-1B to dwustopniowa rakieta nośna napędzana na paliwo ciekłe, będąca w stanie wynieść kilkadziesiąt kilogramów ładunku na niską orbitę okołoziemską. Rozwój rakiety odbywał się przy pomocy Korei Północnej, która przekazała część swojego doświadczenia technologicznego Iranowi.
Ostatni udany irański start orbitalny odbył się w lutym 2015 roku, gdy umieszczono na orbicie satelitę Fadżr. W kwietniu 2016 roku w locie suborbitalnym Iran przetestował pierwszy stopień rakiety Simorgh.

(...) Images of the launch pad in north-central Iran taken by orbiting satellites owned by U.S. companies suggest a rocket launch occurred last week, but the U.S. military’s catalog of space objects registered no new spacecraft in orbit. A satellite launch attempt was expected in recent weeks based on statements from Iran’s government and observations of increasing activity at the launch site.
One image taken by DigitalGlobe’s WorldView 3 Earth observation satellite Feb. 5 shows launch preparations at the site in full swing, with the shadow of a rocket visible at the spaceport in Iran’s Semnan’s province. Another pass by WorldView 3 over the launch base Feb. 6 produced an image showing burn scars at the circular launch pad, and a nearby stream of runoff, likely from post-launch wash-down activities.
A fleet of Earth-imaging satellites owned by Planet also monitored launch preparations at the Iranian spaceport. An image taken Jan. 21 shows a freshly-painted launch pad, and another from Planet on Feb. 6 shows scorch marks, like DigitalGlobe’s observations.
DigitalGlobe and Planet sell their imagery to the U.S. government, which uses the data to supplement pictures captured by government-owned National Reconnaissance Office spy satellites, whose capabilities and high-resolution images are classified. (...)
Analysts believe the launch likely carried the Dousti microsatellite aboard a Safir booster, a smaller cousin of the Simorgh rocket that faltered during a launch Jan. 15 (https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/01/16/iran-admits-failure-in-satellite-launch-attempt/) with the Payam-e Amirkabir imaging satellite. Dousti, which means “friendship” in Persian, was billed as a 114-pound (52-kilogram) remote sensing satellite in Iranian news reports ahead of the launch.
Iran’s information and communications minister, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, said Feb. 4 that Dousti’s launch was expected soon, the last in a series of government announcements in recent weeks about the planned launch. None of the official statements indicated when the launch would occur.
Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency reported Iran’s deputy defense minister said that a launch last week delivered its payload into orbit, but the lack of any new satellites in the U.S. military’s public catalog of artificial space objects indicates the rocket failed before obtaining the speed required to enter orbit. Iranian officials acknowledged the Jan. 15 launch failure.
David Schmerler, a senior research associate at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, believes the evidence of an Iranian launch observed by Planet and DigitalGlobe was a failed attempt to place Dousti into orbit. It used the same launch pad as previous Safir rockets that successfully placed Iranian satellites into orbit. (...)

Start z problemami
21.02. o 16:47 z Bajkonuru wystrzelona została RN Sojuz-2.1b/Fregat-M, która wyniosła na orbitę satelitę
EgyptSat-A. Podczas startu trzeci stopień rakiety rozwinął zbyt mały ciąg, w wyniku czego perigeum orbity
było o 57 km za niskie. Zostało to skompensowane pracą stopnia Fregat-M.

EgyptSat-A na orbicie (21.02.2019)

Start Sojuza-2.1b z EgiptSat-A / Credits - Roskosmos
Dwudziestego pierwszego lutego doszło do pierwszego rosyjskiego startu w 2019 roku. Rakieta Sojuz-2.1b wyniosła satelitę EgiptSat-A. Start nie był do końca udany.
Do startu rakiety Sojuz-2.1b z górnym stopniem Fregat-M doszło 21 lutego o godzinie 17:47 CET z kosmodromu Bajkonur. Na pokładzie tej rakiety znalazł się egipski satelita o nazwie EgiptSat-A.
Start nie był w pełni udany. Z dostępnych informacji wynika, że trzeci stopnień Sojuza pracował krócej niż planowano. Górny stopień Fregat-M wykonał dodatkową pracę, dzięki czemu EgiptSat-A znalazł się na prawidłowej orbicie.
Był to pierwszy start rosyjskiej rakiety orbitalnej w 2019 roku i jednocześnie dziesiąty start globalnie. Rosja w tym roku prawdopodobnie przeprowadzi mniej startów od Chin lub USA i jest pewne ryzyko, że niektóre z tych lotów nie zakończą się sukcesem. Coraz częściej podnoszą się głosy, że rosyjski sektor kosmiczny jest na krawędzi załamania (https://kosmonauta.net/2018/07/upadek-rosyjskiego-przemyslu-kosmicznego/), które może nastąpić już niebawem.

(...) Russian news reports said the development of EgyptSat-A cost approximately $100 million.
The satellite weighs more than a ton fully fueled, and Tass reported EgyptSat-A features several improvements over the EgyptSat 2 design, including improved solar batteries and a high-speed radio link with ground stations.
The spacecraft’s electro-optical imaging system includes an Earth-viewing telescope and camera that can spot surface features as small as 3.3 feet (1 meter), with similar capabilities as the failed EgyptSat 2 satellite. EgyptSat-A is the third Egyptian Earth observation satellite built in Russia, following the EgyptSat 1 spacecraft launched in 2007 and EgyptSat 2 launched in 2014. (...)

Egyptian observation satellite launched by Russian rocket

(...) Energia and Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, confirmed the Soyuz-1.b rocket and its Fregat upper stage delivered the EgyptSat-A spacecraft into the planned orbit. U.S. military tracking data indicated mission deployed the satellite into an orbit more than 400 miles above Earth, at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equator.
But Russian news reports suggested the mission may have experienced a close call during the climb into orbit.
Russia’s Tass news agency reported the EgyptSat-A satellite and its Fregat upper stage were tracked in a lower-than-expected orbit after the three-stage Soyuz booster deployed the rocket’s upper unit around nine minutes after liftoff.
But Tass reported that burns by the Fregat upper stage appeared to have corrected the apparent performance shortfall, which may have occurred during the third stage’s engine firing. The Fregat upper stage was expected to ignite twice to deliver EgyptSat-A to its intended orbit.
The RIA Novosti news agency also reported the launcher was observed in a lower-than-planned during Thursday’s flight, attributing the information to two space industry sources.
In the end, Russian officials said EgyptSat-A was released at the expected altitude, and the solar panels on the satellite unfurled as designed.
The Soyuz-2.1b variant of Russia’s venerable Soyuz rocket family uses a different upper stage engine than the version used for crew launches. The Soyuz-2.1b uses a four-nozzle RD-0124 engine, while the Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2.1a configurations employ a RD-0110 third stage engine.
The next Soyuz crew launch, with two NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut heading for the International Space Station, is scheduled for March 14.
The next launch of a Soyuz rocket carrying satellites was scheduled for Feb. 26 from French Guiana, a commercial mission under the management of the French launch provider Arianespace. That flight is slated to use a Soyuz ST-B rocket, a variant that uses the same third stage design as the Soyuz-2.1b launcher that flew Thursday with EgyptSat-A. (...)

OneWeb już wysyła swoje satelity? Nie wiedziałem, że są już na tym etapie. Ktoś wie czy to testowe modele czy już operacyjne? Wygląda na to że przyszły rok to będzie rok internetu satelitarnego bo w tym też powinien zacząć pojawiać się na orbicie Starlink:)
-
Ciekawe, że do końca miesiąca zostało zaledwie kilka dni, ale jeśli wszystkie starty się odbędą, łącznie z tymi chińskimi to... będzie to tyle samo startów co przez cały luty... :)
-
Ostatnio coraz trudniej zdobyć rzetelne informacje, dotyczące planowanych startów. Do tradycyjnie problematycznych krajów, jak np. Iran, w coraz większym stopniu dochodzą Rosja i Chiny, a już najgorzej jest z firmami prywatnymi. Dlatego moją tabelkę należy brać z coraz większym przymrużeniem oka.

Pierwszy start dla OneWeb - 27.02.2019 / Credits - Arianespace
Dwudziestego siódmego lutego nastąpił pierwszy start satelitów konstelacji OneWeb.
Do startu doszło 27 lutego o godzinie 22:37 CET z kosmodromu Kourou w Gujanie Francuskiej. W tym locie wykorzystano europejską wersję rosyjskiej rakiety Sojuz-STB wraz z górnym stopniem Fregat-M. W tym pierwszym starcie na orbitę zostało wyniesionych sześć satelitów OneWeb oraz cztery niedziałające makiety – symulatory masy.
W odróżnieniu od poprzedniego startu rakiety Sojuz (z EgiptSat-A), gdzie wystąpiły problemy (https://kosmonauta.net/2019/02/egyptsat-b-na-orbicie-21-02-2019/), ten lot przebiegł perfekcyjnie – satelity zostały umieszczone na wyznaczonej orbicie z dokładnością około 300 metrów. W kolejnych dniach te sześć satelitów OneWeb rozpocznie wędrówkę do końcowej orbity o wysokości 1200 km.

China Focus: China's Long March rockets complete 300 launches
Source: Xinhua| 2019-03-10 17:26:30|Editor: Lu Hui
(http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-03/10/137882113_15521553235531n.jpg)
The "ChinaSat 6C" satellite is launched by a Long March-3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province, March 10, 2019. It will provide high-quality radio and TV transmission services. (Xinhua/Guo Wenbin)
XICHANG, March 10 (Xinhua) -- With a Long March-3B rocket putting a new communication satellite into orbit on Sunday, China's Long March carrier rocket series completed 300 launches, having sent more than 500 spacecraft into space since 1970.
"This is a milestone for China's space industry development," said Wu Yansheng, board chairman of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).
The Long March carrier rocket series, developed by CASC, is responsible for about 96.4 percent of all the launch missions in China.
It took 37 years for the Long March rockets to complete the first 100 launches, 7.5 years to complete the second 100 launches, and only about four years to accomplish the final 100, with the average number of launches per year increasing from 2.7 to 13.3 and then to 23.5.
"Intensive launches have become normal in China, indicating the rapid development of the space industry, the progress of science and technology and the enhancement of national strength," said Shang Zhi, director of the Space Department of the CASC.
China joined the space club on April 24, 1970, when the Long March-1 carrier rocket launched the country's first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, into orbit. At that time, the carrying capacity of the Long March rocket was only 300 kg.
On November 3, 2016, China's current largest carrier rocket, the Long March-5, made its maiden flight, with its carrying capacity reaching 25 tonnes for low-Earth orbit and 14 tonnes for geosynchronous orbit.
The success rate of the 300 launches of the Long March rockets stood at 96 percent, according to CASC.
During the third 100 launches, the Long March rockets sent a total of 225 spacecraft, weighing about 240 tonnes, into space, with a success rate of 97 percent, reaching a high level in the world, said Shang.
From October 1996 to August 2011, the Long March rockets set a world record for 15 years of successful consecutive launches.
In 2018, the Long March rockets completed 37 consecutive successful launches, ranking a global first for the highest number of successful launches.
A total of 17 types of Long March carrier rockets have been developed and put into use since 1970, ensuring the implementation of a series of key space projects including manned space program, lunar exploration, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and the Gaofen Earth observation project.
In addition, the Long March carrier rockets also launched a large number of meteorological satellites, resource satellites and oceanographic satellites, as well as several innovative science satellites including DAMPE to search for dark matter, the world's first quantum satellite, and an electromagnetic satellite to study earthquakes, playing an important role in promoting the economic, social and scientific development in China.
Since the 1990s, the Long March rockets have been designed to be compatible with satellites manufactured in the United States, Europe and other countries and regions.
So far, Chinese rockets have launched 56 international commercial satellites and carried more than 20 small satellites or payloads into space for international customers.
The Long March carrier rockets helped provide launch services for countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, including Algeria, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The services have been extended from launching satellites to the construction of ground facilities, and management and application of the satellites.
From 2015 to 2016, four types of new generation Long March carrier rockets, using non-toxic and non-polluting propellants, were put into use, greatly improving China's capacity of entering outer space.
New technologies such as 3D printing and intelligent manufacturing have been introduced in the development of China's new generation carrier rockets.
For instance, the Long March-7 is China's first carrier rocket completely designed using digital and virtual reality technology -- no paper blueprint was used throughout the design and production process.
The management and production efficiency of the launching vehicles have also been improved. China is now capable of manufacturing more than 40 carrier rockets every year.
The new generation rocket Long March-6 does not require a fixed launch pad and can be ready for takeoff within seven days. The preparation time to launch a Long March-11 rocket can be as short as several hours.
China's achievements in the space industry have benefited from the enhancement of the comprehensive national strength and the upgrading of its basic industrial capacity. On the other hand, the development of the space industry also helps promote the progress of other industries.
For instance, the development of the Long March-5 rocket, which has a diameter of five meters, involved several Chinese industrial enterprises who helped manufacture the propellant tank.
China has made many technological breakthroughs in the development of the Long March-5 rocket, which has also promoted the country's industrial manufacturing capacity.
Technologies gained from developing the "heart" of rockets are helping China, one of the world's major coal consumers, use coal more cleanly and efficiently.
"In China, a large proportion of the grain you eat every day is grown with chemical fertilizers made of materials produced by coal gasification technology transformed from rocket technology," said Zhu Yuying, vice general manager of the Changzheng Engineering Co., Ltd., a company affiliated with the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
The gasifiers produced by the company can increase the utilization rate of coal from 30 percent to more than 90 percent. And one such gasifier can deal with over 3,000 tonnes of coal every day.
Currently, China is developing new generation medium launch vehicles including the Long March-6A, Long March-7A and Long March-8. A test version of the Long March-5B, which has the largest carrying capacity to low-Earth orbit, has been produced and will be used to launch the modules of China's space station, according to CASC.
China's heavy-lift carrier rocket, the Long March-9, is expected to make its maiden flight around 2030 and will support manned lunar exploration, deep space exploration and construction of a space-based solar power plant.
The diameter of the body of the Long March-9 rocket will be nearly 10 meters. And the manufacturing of the rocket will also push forward the development of new materials, technologies, devices and equipment.
The new generation launch vehicles will gradually replace the old generation carrier rockets, and space transport vehicles will transition from one-time use to reusable in the future, said Shang.

China returns from Spring break with Zhongxing-6C launch
written by Rui C. Barbosa March 9, 2019
After the long pause due to the Spring Festival, China resumed orbital launch operations with the launch of a new communications satellite by a Long March 3B. The Zhongxing-6C (or ChinaSat-6C) communication satellite was launched at 16:28 UTC Saturday from the LC3 Launch Complex of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The launch marked the 300th orbital launch of the Long March family of launch vehicles.
Originally scheduled to launch in September 2017, the Zhongxing-6C (ZX-6C) was developed by the Chinese Academy of Space Technology and is based on the DFH-4 satellite platform.
The new satellite is equipped with twenty five C-band transponders, supporting high-quality and reliable uplink and downlink transmissions of programs for radio, TV stations and cable TV networks. It will be positioned at 130° East. (...)

A Chinese television broadcasting satellite lifted off Saturday aboard a Long March 3B booster, the 300th orbital launch by the country’s Long March rocket family since 1970.
The Long March 3B rocket climbed away from the Xichang space center at 1628 GMT (11:28 a.m. EST) Saturday, and headed east from the inland spaceport located in a hilly region of southwestern China’s Sichuan province. Liftoff occurred at 12:28 a.m. Beijing time Sunday.
The rocket jettisoned four hydrazine-fueled boosters and its core stage less around two-and-a-half minutes into the mission, followed by engine firings by the Long March 3B’s second stage and a cryogenic hydrogen-fueled third stage. Around a half-hour after liftoff, the Long March 3B deployed the Chinasat 6C, or Zhongxing 6C, communications satellite in an elliptical geostationary transfer orbit.
Chinese officials declared the launch a success, and publicly-available tracking data provided by the U.S. military indicated the Chinasat 6C spacecraft was released in an orbit ranging in altitude between 120 miles (200 kilometers) and roughly 25,500 miles (41,000 kilometers), with an inclination of 24.6 degrees to the equator.
The Chinasat 6C satellite, based on the DFH-4 spacecraft design built by the China Academy of Space Technology, will use its own propulsion system to maneuver into a circular geostationary orbit more than 22,000 miles (nearly 36,000 kilometers) over the equator, entering service at a position at 130 degrees east longitude to provide television broadcast services for China Satcom.
The launch of Chinasat 6C marked the 300th orbital flight by a member of the Long March rocket family, which debuted April 24, 1970, when a Long March 1 rocket carried China’s first satellite into space. China has upgraded the Long March series, originally based on long-range missile technology, with new engines, strap-on boosters, and upper stages over the last five decades.
The Long March 3 rocket first flew in 1984, and the Long March 3B model launched for the first time in 1996.
But the Long March 3B’s inaugural launch from Xichang ended in disaster when the rocket flew off course moments after liftoff and crashed into a nearby village. China’s state-run Xinhua news agency reported the accident killed six people, but some estimates put the death toll much higher.
China has launched several new Long March rocket designs, including the kerosene-fueled Long March 5, Long March 6 and Long March 7 launchers, and the solid-fueled Long March 11. The newest Long March rocket variants no longer consume toxic hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide propellants, and the Long March 5 and 7 are based at a new spaceport on Hainan Island, allowing the launchers to fly over water, instead of land.
The Long March 5 is the heaviest rocket in China’s inventory, capable of hauling up to 25 metric tons (55,000 pounds) to low Earth orbit. China has launched two Long March 5 rockets to date, but the second flight in 2017 faltered before reaching orbit, following a successful inaugural launch in 2016.
China plans to launch the third Long March 5 rocket as soon as July, paving the way for the launch of the Chang’e 5 lunar sample return mission before the end of the year on the fourth Long March 5 mission.
Since the Long March 5’s failure in 2017, China’s Long March family has logged 50 consecutive successful launches, delivering navigation, communications and scientific missions to space. Long March rockets have launched 460 spacecraft since 1970, including more than 50 satellites from foreign owners, according to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, or CALT, China’s primary rocket-builder.
China’s launch rate has quickened in recent years. It took 37 years to accomplish the first 100 Long March launches, eight years for the second 100 flights, and four years for the third 100 missions.
The Chinasat 6C satellite launched Saturday is designed for a 15-year mission, with 25 C-band transponders covering China, Southeast Asia, Australia and islands in the South Pacific, according to information released by CAST, the spacecraft’s manufacturer.
Chinasat 6C will broadcast television programming, and features “enhanced” anti-interference technology, such as beam and frequency switching, and the suppression of unauthorized uplinks to the satellite, CAST officials said.

Start Delta 4M z WGS-10 / Credits - ULA
Siedemnastego marca nastąpił start rakiety Delta-4M+ z wojskowym satelitą WGS-10.
Do startu doszło 16 marca o godzinie 01:26 CET z wyrzutni 37B na przylądku Canaveral. Rakieta Delta 4M+(5,4) wyniosła wojskowego satelitę telekomunikacyjnego Wideband Global Satcom – 10 (WGS-10). Start przebiegł prawidłowo. Był to ostatni start rakiety Delta 4 w tej konfiguracji. Lot został przeprowadzony dzięki United Launch Alliance (ULA).
WGS-10 ma dostarczać łączność telekomunikacyjną głównie dla amerykańskich sił powietrznych (USAF). Satelita został wyposażony w transpondery na pasmach X i Ka. Z dostępnych źródeł wynika, że jednym z zadań WGS-10 ma być komunikacja z bezzałogowymi pojazdami latającymi (UAV) nad odległymi rejonami świata i nad polami walki.
Następny start rakiety orbitalnej został zaplanowany na 22 marca. Wówczas europejska rakieta Vega wyniesie satelitę PRISMA.

Air Force launches WGS-10 communications satellite

This was the second to last mission for the Delta 4 medium. ULA will retire the vehicle later this summer after the launch of an Air Force GPS satellite.
The U.S. Air Force’s 10th Wideband Global Satcom communications satellite (WGS-10) atop a United Launch Alliance Delta 4 rocket blasted off on Friday at 8:26 PM EST from Space Launch Complex-37B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
The Delta 4 medium “single stick” rocket — with one hydrogen-fueled common booster core, four solid rocket motors and a Delta Cryogenic Second Stage — lifted off after a delay caused by issues with NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System. The tracking network must be available for liftoff to occur.
The $424 million WGS-10 satellite encapsulated inside a 5-meter-diameter payload fairing marked the eighth flight of the Delta 4 in the medium configuration, all of which have been WGS missions. This was the 39th launch of the Delta 4 since it was introduced in 2002. It was ULA’s 133rd mission.
The WGS constellation provides broadband communications for the U.S. military and allies. Boeing was selected as the WGS manufacturer in 2001. The first satellite was launched in 2007. Boeing delivered WGS-10 in November. On Feb. 26 it was hoisted aboard the 66.4 meters (218 feet) tall Delta 4 rocket.
Gary Wentz, ULA’s vice president of government and commercial programs, said this was the second to last mission for the Delta 4 medium, which is being retired after the 25 July launch of an Air Force Global Positioning System satellite. ULA will keep the Delta 4 heavy — which has three common booster cores strapped together — until 2024. During a conference call with reporters, Wentz said ULA is taking the medium vehicle out of service to cut costs as the company tries to become leaner to compete against lower-cost providers.
The WGS satellite weighed about 13,000 pounds at launch and its solar arrays once unfurled in space stretch 135 feet.
The spacecraft separation occurred at 9:02PM. The satellite reached a low-Earth orbit parking orbit before moving to a high geosynchronous transfer orbit. Steven Hayden, WGS chief engineer, said it would take four months for WGS-10 to get to its intended location in geosynchronous Earth orbit where it will stay and undergo tests until U.S. Strategic Command decides where it should be deployed. Hayden said the U.S. military has “plenty of slots to place the satellite around the world.”
The Air Force said the addition of a 10th satellite makes the WGS constellation the nation’s highest-capacity military communications system. It is operated by the U.S. Air Force’s 4th Space Operations Squadron at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. International partners participating in the WGS program include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and New Zealand.

Alongside its fleet of Atlas V vehicles, ULA has steadily phased-out the expensive single-stick variants of the Delta family in recent years. After three decades of near-impeccable service, the Delta II launched its last mission back in September 2018. Following the final mission of the Delta IV Medium+ (5,4) with WGS-10—configured with a 16-foot-wide (5-meter) payload fairing and four Northrop Grumman-built GEM-60 solid-fueled boosters—the sole remaining single-stick Delta IV, the Medium+ (4,2), with two strap-on GEM-60s, will fly its swansong in July 2019 with the second Global Positioning System (GPS) Block III satellite.
“ULA made the decision to retire the Delta IV Medium launch vehicle when our National Security Space customer decided to compete missions in 2015,” explained ULA director and general manager of launch operations Tony Taliancich, in comments provided to AmericaSpace. “Prior to the acquisition strategy change, ULA was required by the government to maintain two families of launch vehicles to meet assured access to space policy requirements. In a competitive environment, ULA must favor its lowest-cost product to meet the market requirements. Maintaining multiple product lines would lead to lower launch rates and higher costs.” (...)

(...) The Common Booster Core (CBC) for today’s flight was delivered to the Cape last July, alongside the Delta Cryogenic Second Stage (DCSS), for horizontal integration at Space Launch Complex (SLC)-37B. In late January, the 170-foot-long (51.8-meter) stack was raised to the vertical on the pad surface and in the first half of February the four GEM-60s were mounted around the CBC’s base. At the end of last month, the WGS-10 satellite—encapsulated within its bulbous payload fairing—was installed atop the vehicle, raising the height of the Delta IV Medium+ (5,4) to 218 feet (66.4 meters). Following the completion of the Launch Readiness Review (LRR) on Thursday, 14 March, the Mobile Service Tower (MST) was retracted in the hours prior to launch.
The weather outlook, according to the 45th Space Wing, was highly favorable, with an 80-percent likelihood of acceptable conditions at T-0, tempered only by a slight risk of infringing the Cumulus Cloud Rule. The skies, however, cooperated wonderfully, while engineers had to troubleshoot some minor issues on the booster and deal with the TDRSS problem.
With those issues dealt with the countdown emerged from its final built-in hold at T-4 minutes and counted down to one minute, whereupon the Range Operations Co-ordinator (ROC) reported that the Eastern Range was “Green”, with no constraints for launch. At T-14 seconds, the Radial Outward Firing Igniters (ROFIs) were activated, sizzling sparkler-like to burn off excess hydrogen, before the liquid oxygen and hydrogen valves of the RS-68A engine opened a few seconds before T-0.

Arianespace’s Vega success with PRISMA in numbers: 3 + 14 + 308 = 600!
March 21, 2019

Vega begins its ascent from the Spaceport in French Guiana, carrying Italy’s PRISMA Earth observation satellite on the third Arianespace mission of 2019.
Arianespace’s third mission of 2019 – which marked the Vega rocket’s 14th consecutive success – orbited the Italian PRISMA Earth observation satellite tonight, bringing the total number of spacecraft lofted by the launch services company to 600. It was the 308th flight overall of an Arianespace launcher.
(http://www.arianespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/3-20-2019-VV14-RAL-318x450.jpg)
The assembled Vega launcher for Arianespace Flight VV14 is shown at the Spaceport. The light-lift vehicle is protected by a mobile gantry which will be rolled back prior to the liftoff on March 21.
Vega deployed its payload into Sun-synchronous orbit during a 54-minute mission performed from the Spaceport in French Guiana. The PRISMA satellite had an estimated liftoff mass of 879 kg., with the Vega launcher delivering a total payload lift performance of 953.5 kg. – which included integration and deployment system hardware.
PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) was produced for the Italian ASI space agency by OHB Italia as prime contractor, with Leonardo responsible for the Earth observation system. Operating from low Earth orbit, the satellite is designed to provide major applications for protection of the planet and for Italy’s national environmental safety. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art electro-optical instrument with a medium-resolution camera and an innovative hyperspectral sensor. Once operational, PRISMA will provide data for environmental monitoring, resources management, the identification and classification of crops, the fight against pollution and other uses.
The 70th Earth observation payload launched by Arianespace
Designated Flight VV14 in Arianespace’s launcher system numbering system, tonight’s mission underscored the company’s role in deploying Earth observation satellites, as PRISMA was the 70th spacecraft orbited by the company for this type of application.
“There was no better way for Vega to start the year 2019 than with this 14th success in a row…congratulations to all!” said Luce Fabreguettes, Arianespace’s Executive Vice President – Missions, Operations & Purchasing. “The PRISMA satellite is fully in accordance with Arianespace’s motto: Space at the service of a better life on Earth.”
It was highly appropriate that PRISMA was orbited by Vega for Italy, as this lightweight launch vehicle is delivered for launch to Arianespace by Italian production prime contractor AVIO.
Flight VV14 followed Arianespace’s two previous year-opening successes in 2019: the first, performed on February 5, utilized a heavy-lift Ariane 5 to place the Saudi Geostationary Satellite 1/Hellas Sat 4 and GSAT-31 communications relay platforms into geostationary transfer orbit; while the second employed a medium-lift Soyuz vehicle on February 27 to deploy the first six satellites into a circular low Earth orbit for the OneWeb communications constellation.
After tonight’s Flight VV14, preparations continue for Arianespace’s next mission – Flight VS22 – which will use a Soyuz launcher to orbit four additional satellites for the SES-owned O3b satellite constellation. Flight VS22 is scheduled for April 4 from the Spaceport.

WASHINGTON — European launch provider Arianespace conducted its third launch of the year March 21, orbiting a remote-sensing satellite for the Italian Space Agency on a Vega rocket.
Vega, Arianespace’s light-lift vehicle, took off from Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana at 9:50 p.m. Eastern. PRISMA, the PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa satellite, separated from the rocket 54 minutes later.
The launch is the first of four Vega missions planned for this year. If none are delayed, it will be the highest number of Vega launches in a single year since the rocket’s introduction in 2012.
PRISMA was originally scheduled to launch in 2018, but delays with the European Space Agency’s Aeolus wind-mapping satellite, which also called for a Vega launch, pushed PRISMA into 2019 (https://spacenews.com/arianespace-vega-launches-second-moroccan-earth-observation-satellite/).
ASI, the Italian space agency, assembled a roster of Italian companies to execute the PRISMA mission.
OHB Italia built the 879-kilogram satellite with Italian aerospace and defense company Leonardo, which supplied the electro-optical payload, solar panels and power supply unit.
Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Paris-based Thales Group and Leonardo, supplied PRISMA’s onboard data transmission system.
Data acquisition and processing will take place at Telespazio’s Matera Space Centre.
OHB Italia was also responsible for arranging the launch, for which it choose the Italian-led Vega rocket built by Avio.
PRISMA carries what the Italian space agency called the “most powerful operative hyperspectral instrument in the world.” The satellite’s imaging payload is designed to see in 239 spectral bands, plus panchromatically.
PRISMA has a design life of five years, not counting in-orbit commissioning. Christiano Contini, PRISMA mission director at OHB Italia, said the satellite’s commissioning is expected to take three months.
ASI said the satellite will be used to study environmental behavior, including climate change and other human-influenced changes. ASI said such data will be applicable to a wide range of activities, from natural disaster prevention to pollution monitoring, disaster response and agriculture.
The satellite will operate in a 615-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.
Luce Fabreguettes, Arianespace’s executive vice president of missions, operations and purchasing, said in post-launch remarks that Arianespace’s next launch will take place April 4. The company will use a Soyuz rocket to launch four O3b satellites for SES, expanding the medium Earth orbit system to 20 satellites.

(...) The $143 million (126 million euro) PRISMA mission is led by the Italian space agency, known as ASI, and is designed to monitor the environment, track pollution and water quality, and chart the growth of forests and crops. After a thorough checkout in orbit, PRISMA is scheduled to begin a five-year operational mission beginning in June, according to an ASI spokesperson.
PRISMA stands for PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa, or the Hyperspectral Precursor and Application Mission. The satellite will collect imagery of Earth in numerous spectral bands, breaking the sunlight reflected off the planet’s oceans, forests, and cities into 240 parts to resolve parameters such as plant health, soil erosion and chemistry, oil spills, water salinity, and natural resources.
The satellite’s instrument combines the hyperspectral sensor, with sensitivity in 239 bands, with a medium-resolution panchromatic, or black-and-white, camera providing context views.
“PRISMA is a fully Italian Earth observation mission based on a single satellite carrying a hyperspectral imager that will characterize the Earth’s surface on a global scale, extracting geochemical, biochemical and geophysical parameters, providing unique information on the status and evolution of our planet,” said Francesco Longo, PRISMA’s project manager at ASI.
The Italian space agency started working on the PRISMA mission after the cancellation of a previous hyperspectral imaging satellite named HypSEO in the early 2000s. PRISMA itself was delayed several years as engineers developed the satellite and its payload, both of which are based on new designs.
“Hyperspectral imaging is a novelty of remote sensing technology that acquires image data in hundreds of narrow continuous bands from the visible to the shortwave infrared,” Longo said. “Each individual pixel of the hyperspectral image contains a continuous spectrum of the solar radiation reflected by the surface. These spectra include absorption features which can be interpreted as spectral fingerprints of Earth’s elements. That allows the identification of mineral types and soils … vegetation types and conditions, and to detect pollutants in water and air.”
Italian officials described PRISMA as the most capable environmental satellite of its kind, combining the hyperspectral sensor and electro-optical camera into one instrument. (...)

(...) Headquartered in Beijing, OneSpace is one of several Chinese launcher startups jockeying for position in the country’s burgeoning commercial space market. The company’s solid-fueled, four-stage OS-M rocket set for launch this week stands around 62 feet (19 meters) tall, with the ability to place around 247 pounds (112 kilograms) of payload into a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 310 miles (500 kilometers), according to information on OneSpace’s website.
The OS-M’s lift capability to sun-synchronous orbit, an orbit favored for many Earth-imaging satellites, is around 25 percent lower than the capacity of Rocket Lab’s Electron launcher, the first of a wider group of new commercial light-class rockets in development worldwide to successfully enter service.
At the conclusion of a Series B financing round in August, OneSpace said it had raised $119 million from private venture capital funds to date for development of its new rocket. OneSpace said in a statement at the time that it expected to achieve an annual production capacity of more than 30 OS-M rockets by 2020. (...)
The company’s future roadmap includes more the more powerful OS-M2 and OS-M4 rockets, with two or four strap-on solid rocket boosters giving the launcher additional power at liftoff. With upgraded “Type B” boosters, the OS-M4 rocket is designed to carry up to 1,150 pounds (522 kilograms) to a 310-mile-high sun-synchronous orbit.
With this week’s launch, OneSpace aims to become China’s first privately-funded launch company to put a satellite into orbit. The payload riding on the first OS-M flight is the Lingque 1B remote sensing CubeSat for ZeroG Lab, a Chinese company seeking to deploy a fleet of Earth-observing nanosatellites. (...)

Nieudany debiut chińskiej rakiety
27.03. o 09:39 z Jiuquan wystrzelony został pierwszy egzemplarz RN OS-M1 firmy OneSpace, która miała wynieść
na orbitę satelitę Lingque 1B. Start zakończył się niepowodzeniem, drugi stopień rakiety utracił stabilizację krótko po
oddzieleniu się od pierwszego stopnia.

Nieudany debiut orbitalny spółki OneSpace
BY MICHAŁ MOROZ ON 27 MARCA 2019

Start pierwszego stopnia OS-X z 17 maja 2018 / OneSpace
27 marca 2019 chiński startup OneSpace przeprowadził swój pierwszy lot rakiety orbitalnej. Debiutancki lot zakończył się porażką.
OneSpace to chińska spółka z Chongqing, która powstała w 2015 roku. Jej celem jest rozwijanie małych rakiet nośnych. Warto jednak zaznaczyć, że spółka działa prawdopodobnie ze wsparciem chińskiego rządu. Niektórzy komentatorzy uważają, że firma stosuje elementy z wycofanych rakiet balistycznych.
Stat nastąpił z kosmodromu Jiuquan o godzinie 10:39 CET. Rakieta miała wynieść demonstrator Lingque 1B, wykonany przez chińską spółkę ZeroG Lab. Z pierwszych informacji wynika, że tuż po oddzieleniu się pierwszego stopnia doszło do awarii drugiego stopnia rakiety. Ładunek został utracony.
Docelowo Lingque ma być konstelacją 132 satelitów typu CubeSat 6U, które będa dostarczały zdjęć naszej planety z rozdzielczością czterech metrów na piksel. Pierwszy satelita spółki, Lingque 1B, został wyniesiony w styczniu 2019 roku na pokładzie rakiety CZ-11
(https://kosmonauta.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/lingque-1__1.jpg)
Wizualizacja satelity Lingque-1 / ZeroG Lab
Rakieta OS-M to mała, trzystopniowa rakieta nośna napędzana paliwem stałym. Według informacji podanej na stronie spółki, jest w stanie wynieść 205 kg na niską orbitę okołoziemską na wysokość 300 km. Rozwijane są też wersje rakiety OS-M2 i OS-M4, wyposażone w kolei w dwa i cztery dodatkowe boostery.
W poprzednich latach w Chinach doszło już do debiutanckich lotów dwóch małych rakiet napędzanych paliwem stałym (CZ-11 oraz Kuaizhou-1). Można przyjąć, że istnieje większy transfer wiedzy między tymi rządowymi projektami a komercyjnymi inicjatywami.

HELSINKI — OneSpace of China failed to become the first private launch firm to place a satellite in orbit after loss of its OS-M1 solid launch vehicle Wednesday.
Launch of the OS-M1 four-stage rocket, also named ‘Chongqing · Liangjiang Star,’ took place at 05:39 a.m. Eastern from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
Amateur footage from the launch site shared on a Chinese social media platform indicates loss of control of the launch vehicle shortly after first stage separation around one minute after launch.
OneSpace was still investigating the cause of the launch failure at press time.
The 19-meter-tall, 20 metric ton OS-M1, which was designed to be able to loft a 205-kilogram payload to 300-kilometer low Earth orbit (LEO), was carrying the Lingque-1B technology verification satellite for ZeroG Labs, a Beijing-based developer of micro- and nanosatellites and components established in late 2016.
Lingque-1B was a 6U CubeSat which aimed to test technologies for ZeroG Lab’s planned named Lingque (‘spirit magpie’) constellation of 132 remote sensing satellites with a resolution of better than 4 meters. (...)

(...) The rocket fell back to Earth, ending OneSpace attempt to become the first private Chinese company to launch a satellite. Another company — LandSpace — launched an orbital-class rocket in October, but it also faltered before reaching orbit.
A CubeSat named Lingque 1B was lost in Wednesday’s launch failure. Lingque 1B was owned by ZeroG Lab, a Chinese company aiming to deploy a fleet of Earth-observing nanosatellites.
While Wednesday’s launch is a setback for China’s growing commercial space industry, OneSpace and other companies have plans for more launches and larger rockets, including some with reusable boosters. (...)

Satelita R3D2 ma charakter technologiczny. Użytkownikiem tego satelity jest amerykańska agencja Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Celem misji R3D2 jest przetestowanie nowej formy anteny oraz rozkładania takiej anteny dla małych satelitów. Satelita R3D2 został wyposażony w dużą rozkładaną antenę do komunikacji, której możliwości zostaną przetestowane w trakcie tej misji. Większa antena oznacza większe możliwości komunikacyjne, jednak w przypadku małych satelitów umieszczenie takiej anteny jest problematyczne.

WASHINGTON — Rocket Lab successfully launched an experimental satellite for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency March 28 as the company looks to move to a monthly cadence of launches.
The company’s Electron rocket lifted off from its private launch site site on New Zealand’s Mahia Peninsula at 7:27 p.m. Eastern. The rocket’s payload, a single DARPA satellite, separated from the upper stage 53 minutes after liftoff. “Great kick stage burn and final orbit. Perfect flight!” Peter Beck, chief executive of Rocket Lab, tweeted.
The launch was scheduled for March 24, but delayed shortly before the scheduled liftoff time because of a faulty video transmitter on the rocket. Weather conditions and limited launch windows pushed back the next launch opportunity until March 28.
The payload is a satellite developed by DARPA called Radio Frequency Risk Reduction Deployment Demonstration (R3D2) that will test technologies for deployable antennas. Once in orbit, R3D2 will deploy a Kapton membrane that will expand to a diameter of 2.25 meters to demonstrate the ability to small satellites to carry large deployable antennas needed to support high-bandwidth communications.
The 150-kilogram satellite was the only payload on the launch as it takes up all the mass and volume available on the rocket. Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for R3D2, with the antenna provided by MMA Design and the satellite bus by Blue Canyon Technologies.
In January, when Rocket Lab announced plans to launch R3D2, the company said this launch was the first of 12 the company expected to carry out in 2019, with an increasing cadence of missions as the year went on. “Basically, our goal for 2019 is to continue to deliver that regular, reliable service to orbit,” Peter Beck, chief executive of Rocket Lab, said in a January interview.
However, this mission suffered about a one-month slip because of delays shipping the satellite to New Zealand and making final preparations for launch. It’s unclear what that delay will have on Rocket Lab’s schedule. The company said on its launch webcast that it plans for this year call for “building and launching rockets every month.”
The company currently builds one Electron a month, and Beck said prior to this launch that the vehicle for the next mission had completed stage testing and was on its way to the launch site. Rocket Lab hasn’t disclosed the payload or date for that mission.

Tak patrząc na pierwszy kwartał rakietowy - było całkiem wesoło. Są starty na czerwono, są starty nowych pojazdów, są tradycyjni gracze (A5 albo D4H). Nie ma co narzekać. :)

Dobrze, ze czewono, to znaczy, ze cos nowego sie pojawia i to cos, co moze mocno zmienic sytuacje;-)

Pierwsze konstrukcje rakietowe często mają wyraźnie większe ryzyko - po prostu są różne rzeczy niedopracowane jeszcze. To jest chyba reguła niezależna od czasu. ;)
-
Szczególnie ten chiński prymitywny fajerwerk na paliwo stałe może wiele zmienić.Pewnie zabierze Chińczyków na Marsa ::)

Są starty na czerwono, ...
Z trzech czerwonych "startów" w pierwszym kwartale aż dwa są dziełem Iranu. To akurat chyba nie było żadną niespodzianką - stało się już perską specjalnością.

China launches new data relay satellite
Xinhua | Updated: 2019-04-01 01:07
BEIJING -- China sent a new data relay satellite into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province late Sunday night.
The Tianlian II-01 satellite was launched at 11:51 p.m. Beijing Time by a Long March-3B carrier rocket.
As the first satellite to constitute China's second-generation data relay satellite network, the Tianlian II-01 will provide data relay, measurement and control, transmission services for manned spacecraft, satellites, carrier rockets and other non-spacecraft users.
The Tianlian II network will be markedly more advanced in mission planning, system management and operations than the first-generation network composed of Tianlian I satellites.
The new network, with faster data transfer and higher multi-objective service capability, will play an important role in improving the transmission promptness, in-orbit security and mission flexibility for medium- and low-Earth orbiting satellites and manned spacecraft.
The satellite is developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
The launch marks the 301st mission of the Long March carrier rocket series.

China launches tracking and data relay satellite
March 31, 2019 Stephen Clark
A Chinese Long March 3B rocket delivered a new-generation tracking and data relay satellite to orbit Sunday to provide communications support for the country’s future human spaceflight missions and space station.
Boosted by four strap-on engines, the three-stage Long March 3B launcher lifted off at 1551 GMT (11:51 a.m. EDT) Sunday from the Xichang launch base, according to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, or CALT.
The 184-foot-tall (55-meter) Long March 3B turned toward the east from its launch pad, surrounded by mountains in southwestern China’s Sichuan province, and headed downrange, dropping its four hydrazine-fueled boosters and core stage to fall back to Earth less than two-and-a-half minutes after liftoff.
The launch occurred at 11:51 p.m. Beijing time.
The Long March 3B’s second stage fired next, followed by ignition of the cryogenic third stage engine, which burned liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to deliver the first in a new generation of Tianlian tracking and data relay satellites into orbit. Chinese officials declared the launch a success.
U.S. military tracking data indicated the Long March 3B rocket deployed the spacecraft in an elliptical geostationary transfer orbit ranging between 114 miles (184 kilometers) and 22,259 miles (35,823 kilometers), with an inclination angled 27.1 degrees to the equator.
The satellite launched Sunday is the first spacecraft in China’s Tianlian 2 series, a new family of bigger, more capable communications satellites to link ground controllers with Chinese Shenzhou crew capsules and China’s planned space station.
China launched four Tianlian 1 satellites from 2008 through 2016 and positioned the spacecraft at nodes around the world in geostationary orbit more than 22,000 miles (nearly 36,000 kilometers) over the equator, where they move at the same rate as Earth’s rotation, enabling global connectivity for missions orbiting at lower altitudes.
Before the Tianlian satellites, Chinese controllers relied on a patchwork of ground stations to link with space missions. Those only provided partial coverage, leaving mission controllers out of contact with satellites and Shenzhou crews most of the time.
The Tianlian satellites are similar in function to NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellites, which began launching in the 1980s to support space shuttle missions.
The first Tianlian 2-series satellite will use its on-board engine to climb into a circular geostationary orbit. Its planned operating slot in geostationary orbit has not been disclosed by Chinese officials.
Compared to the earlier Tianlian 1 satellites, the Tianlian 2 satellites will provide faster data transmission rates between ground stations and spacecraft in low Earth orbit, and will be able to connect to more spacecraft at the same time, according to Chinese state media reports.
The Tianlian 2-series satellites are built by the China Academy of Space Technology, the state-owned manufacturer of most of the country’s large satellites. The new data relay craft are based on CAST’s DFH-4 satellite platform.
China could launch the core module of its space station into low Earth orbit as soon as next year. Additional launches will follow with research modules, logistics carriers and Shenzhou spaceships carrying crews to the orbiting complex.
Sunday’s mission was China’s fifth space launch attempt of the year, four of which have been successful.
